SN OW-ROAD MACHINE.

Iclare that the following is a full, clear, and

exact description of the invention, such aswill enable others skilled inthe art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to snow road' machines.

' The object of my invention is to provide a machine which will remove aportion of the snow and which will compactly roll a roadbed following acutting blade or plow.

A more specific object is to provide a cutting blade or plow which iswider at its center than it is at its ends and to provide means foradjusting the blade or plow vertically from either end.

, A further object is to provide means for.

adjustingthe blade or plow laterally and for lockni'g the blade in itsadjusted position. a

- My invention consists of the construction,

combination, and arrangement of parts, as

liereinullustra-ted, described, and claimed.v

In. the accompanying drawings formin part of this application, I haveillustrated one form of embodiment of my invention,

in which drawings, similar reference charac tersdesignate correspondingparts, and in which: v

lan View; Fig. 3 is a rear elevation; Fig. t is a dia ammaticviewshowing the plow in three7d1fferent positions and, Fig. 5 is afragmentary detail in perspective showing the pivotalconnection of theframe with the center of the plow.-

Referring to the drawings, 1 designates a pair of supporting' rollersthrough which is disposed a shaft or spindle 2. Carried by the shaft 2are longitudinal frame members 3 adapted to lie practically in ahorizontal position. The frame members 3 are connect'ed by cross-pieces4 and-support vertical 1 rear standards 5. The inclined standards 6 arealso secured on the frame members 3.

Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed.J'une 15,1908. Sam110,438,486.

Patented March 2, 1900.

Carried by the standards 5 and 6 is a platform 9 from which depends thefront central standard 7- and the rear central standard 8. Suitablebraces extend from the bottom of the standards 5 to the horizontalmembers 3. i

Carried by the inclined standards 6 are segmental racks 11 to which arepivoted the levers 12 provided with pawls 13 adapted to engage the racksand to lock the levers 12 in any desired position. The pawls 13 arecontrolled by any suitable form of thumb latches 14.

Adjustably secured to the front end of the levers 12'by bolts 15 passingthrough perforations 15 of plates 15', are connecting rods 15, havingtheir lower ends secured to the ends of a cutting blade or share 16.This cutting blade or share 16 is slightly broader at the point 17 thanat its ends, thus allowing a slightly deeper cut at the center of themachine. L -By this arrangement of levers and connecting rods, the blade16 may be raised or lowered at either end, or may be raised while inhorizontal position.

Locking bars 18 carrying braces 19, have their front ends on each sideof the apparatus connected to the ends of the blades 16 by means of thepivotal connections 20. The under surface of the rear portion of thelocking bars 18 are notches 21 which may be suita ly reinforced, inwhich are adapted to. engage the bolts 22 carried by the lower ends ofthe rear verti- Figure 1 1s a slde elevation; Fig. 2 is a cal standards'5, so that lateral movement of the cutting. blade 16 is prevented.

Connecting the rear ends of the locking bars 18is a cross bar 23, whichis slotted to givensufiicieht play to the connecting members, to whichmay be secured the lower end of a chain 24, the opposite end of whichchain is secured to alever 25, which lever is pivotally secured on therearmost cross-piece 4. By means of this construction the rear ends ofthe bars 18 may be raised to free the rovlded with p bolts 22 from thenotches 21 so that theblade 16 maybe adjusted axially, toward or awayfrom the rollers 1. s

A link or rod 26 is disposed parallel to the locking bars 18 and has 1tsfront ends pivoted thereto as at 27. Connected to the rear end of thelink 26 is aI-lever 28, which lever is pivoted to the adjacent framemembers 3.

By means of this lever 28 the position of the locking bars 18 may bechanged so as to ad just the cutting blade 16 laterally.

Carried by the lower end of the inclined standards (3 are projectingarms 29, to which 5 are plvotally secured the ends of rods 30, the

opposite ends of which rods are secured pivotally to the front end of abar 31 carried by the standard 8 and disposed horizontally between therollers 1. A suitable pivotal connection :32 connects the front end ofthe bar 31 with the central portion of the blade 16 and itsrear side,and forms a pivotal point therefor for its lateral adj ustment asgraphically illustrater'l in the diagrammatic view of Fig. 4. 1

Any suitable draft pole 33 may be secured to the front'end of the frameformed by the v l bar, means for shifting the blade in verticalrollersto the back side of the frame to give members 3, and 4t and extendedbetween the solidity to the structure. A suitable tool box and driversseat may be. carried by the forward end of the frame formed by saidmembers 3 and t. v I

Having thus fully described my invention, What I claim as new and. desiLetters Patent is:
